Vorteile

easy to learn and deploy and easy to integrate

Nachteile

Connection to mysql database is a pain online

Vorteile

It offers a very user-friendly interface that makes it easier to navigate and explore the data, It also offers customisable dashboards that can be tailored to meet specific business needs, and it also gets integrated with other Zoho products such as Zoho CRM or Zoho projects.

Nachteile

Integrating with third-party tools can be challenging and may require technical expertise, it is also not suitable for larger organisations as it has limitations on the amount of data that can be stored and processed. Also, it offers limited customisable options as compared to other BI tools.

Vorteile

It provides direct chart like funnel chart which some other tool do not provide. UI is great, easy to navigate things. Liked the features :- formula column & aggregated formula. Also the querying the tables using custom sql is great to prepare the data. The widget functionality and the features it provide is robust.

Nachteile

Cannot pin multiple columns. cannot change the title of the view in case of the copy of a dashboard. 'CASE WHEN' does not work in it in case of writing custom sql. Sometimes there is some glitch/hang in the application due to which certain thing won't work, need to refresh the entire page to start work again. Also while sharing a dashboard using a permalink the password is same for all the users if sharing it with multiple users. The user can easily change the filter condition/name in the url and open someone else's dashboard.

Vorteile

Zoho Analytics is a very easy tool to use and administer. The dashboard is user-friendly and intuitive, and the pricing is excellent. You should definitely give it a shot!

Nachteile

Zoho Analytics is that it can be difficult to combine several data sets into a single report, particularly when working with complicated data sources.

Vorteile

Ease of use, integration with multiple Softwares, Data sharing options

Nachteile

Graphs are not sharp - like Power BI, some graph templates are missing (Waterfall),

Vorteile

I like the ease of manipulating the data, inbuilt formulas and creating advance reports intuitively.

Nachteile

The synch some times gives me some trouble, if it is little bit improved like getting the real time update would make it more effective

Vorteile

Working with data every day so easy and very quickly

Nachteile

The price of Extra rows is very expensive

Vorteile

Implementation is easy. Admin/user interface is feature packed.

Nachteile

Needs a bit of learning curve. It required a more technical knowledge implementing analytics to our website.

The software is easy to use, customizable, reasonably priced, and fully integrated within other Zohom modules with the ability to connect to other data sources.

Some advanced features that are available in other competitors' products

Vorteile

For users that use Zoho Finance of Books this tool is a must. The canned reports are very limited in those platforms. This helps the team expand and report on all data points.

Nachteile

Support has been a challenge. I’ve asked for help a few times, they look into it and say they’ll get back to me. But never have.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Zoho Analytics

Vorteile

Zoho Analytics was easy to set up and easy to implement. Even writing queries - albeit through a bit of a clunky interface - was pretty easy. I enjoyed being able to set this up and get the users running quickly.

Nachteile

Zoho decided to forge my e-mail address for all notifications from our analytics account. Their e-mails used to come from a Zoho notifications address. Now, they are sending e-mails - from their own servers - that purport to be from me. Naturally, my company's spam blocker bounces these.

Since new users must respond to one of these spoofed e-mails, I can no longer set up new users, at all. They're not caught in a spam trap. They are actually being returned by our server.

Zoho's one and only solution has been to demand that my company make a change to our DNS servers. Then, Zoho can send what appear to be legitimate e-mails on behalf of anyone at my company, at will. That's not acceptable and should not be required. If you want that as a convenience for your users, it works - with appropriate legal agreements in place. Plenty of companies do this with SPF and DKIM records for internally controlled servers.

For an external company to provide no other option (and not mention it until it was too late), this is a huge red flag. Zoho even provides instructions for how to make this change on GoDaddy. Be warned. You know nothing about their internal controls and yet you're giving them license to send e-mail on your behalf. AVOID!

Vorteile

I only recently began using Zoho Analytics, but I'm already impressed. I've been using Zoho apps for a few years now via a Zoho One account, and Zoho Analytics is definitely one of Zoho's best applications. Zoho Analytics makes it easy to set up reports, integrations, dashboards and workspaces. It offers all the functionality of Google Data Studio, but it's far easier to use and the design templates are much nicer. While Zoho Analytics is not as in-depth as Tableau, it's a great alternative for those who want to effectively visualize data from a variety of sources without committing the time it takes to learn Tableau.

Nachteile

Customer service can sometimes take a few days to respond to inquiries, but when they do respond they offer detailed and thoughtful responses.

If you have a Zoho One account, there can only be one Zoho Analytics admin user, which can make collaboration tricky.

Vorteile

This software is very powerful. It generates some reports that we cannot do without. It allows you to automatically email reports to the team, which is very helpful.

Nachteile

It is ridiculously complicated to get what it seems like should be basic reports. It should be easier to customize reports with static information such as dates and titles. Some in-use pointers might be helpful... I try to make adjustments to reports and the entire thing disappears. I call to ask for help and get differing results, oftentimes though they simply tell me something cannot be done - this is for basic reports that should be simple.

Vorteile

The fact it's easy to set up and organize, with powerful report / graph / dashboard creation features. Connect your sources, check, and start building reports. It can be as simple as this ! And the dashboard builders' easy drag and drop interface does a great work. More than efficient, you can even build good looking, stylish ones if you have a little time and an eye for design :)

Nachteile

Some editing features while manually modifying Tables that are already imported. Granted, when you sync with external data sources, you shouldn't do this much, but if it happens you have to manually edit a table, it can be quite tedious.

Vorteile

Didn't really see any - way too hard to use and tech support only give you links to their self-help center, they refuse to actually write out a thought out response to your question, so overall we couldn't even really use it enough to establish any pros.

Nachteile

Every single aspect of it, from pricing to the features to setup and ease of use. Nothing about Reports was helpful.

Technical support is really killing my satisfaction with your products. Any time I run into an issue, I contact tech support and get a link to the self help knowledge base back. I realize you would like to automate as much of your technical inquiries as possible, but this is really poor customer service and has led to great dissatisfaction overall with Zoho.

Vorteile

Dashboarding
Ease of Use
Linking to other Zoho Application i.e. Zoho Creator
Automation - Scheduling of imports

Nachteile

Dashboard Layout - I wish there was more flexibility in designing the layout
Help documents aren't as robust as I would like, but I guess that's why the forums are there.

Vorteile

Customer service is the best! Overall, a fairly easy app to use.

Nachteile

Some flexibility is not available. Data updates delayed by up to 3 hours.

Vorteile

C'est un logiciel très simple à utiliser malgré de nombreuses fonctionnalités. C'est très facile à comprendre et à analyser. Il y a peu de bugs

Nachteile

Ce logiciel fait intervenir une grande chaine d'utilisateurs. C'est parfois un peu problématique car on a affaire avec beaucoup d'interlocuteurs.

Vorteile

You can upload any kind of tabular data. Supports import of data from a cloud storage system. Several varieties of charts and pivot tables can be employed. You can share your reports with the team and also interact with them. You can attach the reports at your blogs or page to increase its reach. Application simple and easy to use, you can, in fact, create reports without investing a huge effort. The customer service is very responsive, you can keep in touch by just leaving a message in the chat window. It is a very affordable solution for the creation of sophisticated reports with ease. You can personalize your dashboard by using the themes option.

Nachteile

There is a limit to the number of users who can access the account. You will find the main dashboard to be a little complicated. Hyperlinking features are absent.

Vorteile

Zoho Reports is quite easy to use, at least for someone who has worked with other reporting and data visualization tools. Sharing with non-technical users is quite easy and straight forward. We, mostly, use tabular reports and the performance has been quite good.

Nachteile

The tech support lacks the promptness and sometimes don't quite understand the need and the urgency.

Vorteile

Ease of use and construction of what you want to 'see' on a dash. Pretty logical setup.

Nachteile

The integration with Salesforce is a bit cantankerous/clunky.

Vorteile

Zoho includes a ton of features that make capturing leads easy. Their platform is great for when you have to balance a lot of projects at once.

Nachteile

I found the platform to be tricky to use. I only used Zoho for a few months so maybe with more training it would become easier to use.

Vorteile

The ease of use of the product is great. Once data is imported, creating useful tables, reports, and dashboards can sometimes take a matter of minutes.

Nachteile

The features this product offers are somewhat limited, in terms of data manipulation and report variety. Also, flexibility when it comes to report creation is pretty strict, due to the mold of the product.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Zoho Analytics

Vorteile

It's very clear when it comes to viewing current months figures against targets and identifying relevant trends.

Nachteile

Nothing negative to say. I am fairly new to the software but slowly getting my head around it all. Very user friendly.

Vorteile

Has preset templates. Dynamic and can drill down. Can bring in as many filter dimensions you like. Dashboard options are many.

Nachteile

Is not real time. There is absolutely no support given initially to train you to use. Its all on faq docs and youtube videos. If you have queries you will need to schedule appointments.

Vorteile

We use Zoho to keep track of our clients. It is well organized and easy to use. Plus you can keep a lot of information in there.

Nachteile

The notes section is in a weird place on the account pages and searching can sometimes be a hassle because there are a lot of steps to make sure you’re searching correctly.

Vorteile

The software provides single page reports with a filtering capability across the top. This allow our clients the ability to use different filters and generate a custom report based on their individual needs without us having to build one for them.

Nachteile

The dashboard and data tables are not fully CSS compliant so they are not responsive in web pages. To get around this we set our page with to a static width, but that is not ideal for users on tablets and phones. Also, there is are no mapping options yet.

Vorteile

Il software ti dà molte opzioni per la preparazione dei dati per un'analisi efficace.Ti permette di dividere colonne,inserire campi calcolati e di creare grafici tramite il trascinamento delle colonne nell'area di progettazione.

Nachteile

Devo dire abbastanza intuitivo nel suo utilizzo

Vorteile

Easy of use
Support team is very effective

Vorteile

+Great UI
+Easy to syncronice your cloud db
+Multiple options to resume and show data

Nachteile

-Few options to share reports without login in trial

Vorteile

- Easy integration with Zoho suite of apps and other databases
- Robust functionality with reporting with many types of reports/charts/graphs

Nachteile

- High learning curve if you need more advanced functionality/reports but unfamiliar with SQL, databases
- Online support is email only. Although email responses are usually responded in a few days, I would ideally want online chat support.
- Seems to need a level of skill/expertise, definitely not purely for beginners

Vorteile

The ability to create variety of charts and tables and using appropriate color coordination to make them stand apart.
Dynamic functionality is very good as well.
Access with/without login is a plus.

Nachteile

Inability to integrate with a variety of platforms.
Some features like dates filter - Today, This week doesn't work.
Maps do not show exact number of ppl using our website.
Social Media options are very limited in terms of filtering the kind of data we need. Hashtags don't work.
Analytics integration gets confusing if there are more than two websites integrated. It is not very user friendly to find the data we need to create relevant charts and often get mixed up.
Support is a bit ambiguous and in a hurry to disconnect the call.

Vorteile

Zoho Analytics is easy to use. The program features an intuitive user interface and offers a number of tools and wizards that make it simple to design reports and dashboards. Also, a variety of visualization choices are available in Zoho Analytics, making it's users to design straightforward dashboards and reports that are visually appealing.

Nachteile

Zoho Analytics could not be as strong or feature-rich as some other business intelligence software packages is a possible disadvantage. The software provides a variety of analytics and reporting services, but some customers could discover that it lacks the sophisticated features and adaptability they need.

Vorteile

The free version is very robust giving small organizations or individuals most of what they need for creating reports with small to medium amounts of data. I like the synchronization with other applications and ability to automate data refreshes.

Nachteile

There are a few options with dashboard chart formatting that I wish had more personalization options

Vorteile

It is pretty intuitive - even users with little experience can learn how to use the software. There barrier to entry, cost-wise, is very low.

Nachteile

There are limitations when it comes to creating query tables. It doesn't automatically allow you to build query tables past the third level - which really limits your ability to go deeper in the data if you are needing to clean the data after it comes in. It also doesn't allow you to do a subquery.

Vorteile

The key to Zoho and others is getting in and seeing all you can do; it also allows customizing to fit any business needs, and a user can personalize their theme. I like a quick tutorial, especially if there is a new function or learning how to do something quickly.

Nachteile

Con from what I noticed was, the subscription seems to be per user. It would probably be beneficial if it were per group. Also, I did not see a tutorial. Maybe someone else who selected Zoho noticed a tutorial.

Vorteile

Easy to use and start out of the box.
Google docs Integration.
Data transfer scheduler.
Zoho apps integration.

Nachteile

3 levels of sql requests only.
Execution time limits.
Not all tables of Zoho.CRM exported to Zoho.Report. Why? Support team answer: "The function is not supported" But WHY? (Comments and Price Line Items for example) I need to use api to transfer the data.
Query Builder is absent.

Vorteile

Ease of use
Data sync capabilities
Nice data views including views on the mobile
Ease of sharing dashboards with others
Lots of support resources online including in forums

Nachteile

Needs substantial knowledge of SQL to make it work well. Else, a great product. Still some ways to go to become a full fledged BI product for non technical users

Vorteile

ease of navigating the system is nice, clean look, auto updating fields pre-written Workflow rules and templates

Nachteile

lack of custom functions, not native to CRM sync does not work support not there on a needed basis, it could take days before anyone gets back to you, and then they really cannot provide the support needed

Vorteile

I love how easy it is to get started and with all the amazing features packed in this software, the pricing is more than reasonable.

Nachteile

I get frustrated sometimes when I try to build a feature. I wish they could provide more tutorials and more detailed documentation.

Vorteile

It helps in creating resourceful reports within a minutes. As it is cloud based you can access it anywhere if you are online. Customizing the reports, mailing and sharing is pretty easy.

Nachteile

However, for the new user, it takes a little time to understand its usage. Technical support could be better.

Vorteile

Ability to synchronise with Google cloud and CRM, creating formula fields

Nachteile

Reports (e.g. pivot view or summary) not able to use OR function and CONTAINS completely useless as you have to select every iteration manually.
These are two very basic requirements of any query so not really fit for purpose.

Vorteile

User friendliness
Easy to tailor made own reports fit for our use
Dashboards are very effective and optimized for internal management

Nachteile

We cannot "Save as" all reports to make it usable for our own use. Tool is little complex for beginners who doesn't have any technical background.

Vorteile

1. Ease to build and share the reports2. Customise Dashboard 3. Pre-build Dashboard

Nachteile

1. User-friendly UI - Especially for non-tech users2. Price Point

Vorteile

Very Easy to use and configurable. You can create reports very quickly and summarise complex data into much simpler and readable format in minutes.

SQL syntax to manipulate your data is very useful and powerful and means you don't need to make changes to your existing data structure.

Nachteile

Some UI components e.g graphs feel a bit dated and don't look quite as clean as other BI tools.

Can slow down if you are using a large data set, not sure what the recommended maximum data set size is.
